Antibiotics Flashcards
1
Q
Types of antibiotics
A
- cell wall synthesis
- cell membrane function
- metabolism
- protein synthesis
- DNA synthesis
2
Q
Cell wall inhibitors
A
- PCN
- Cephalosporins (Ancef)
- Vancomycin
3
Q
PCN
A
- cell wall inhibitor
- b-lactam
- prevents peptidoglycan synthesis in wall
4
Q
Cephalosporins
A
- cell wall inhibitor
- more resistant to b-lactamase
- interferes with peptidoglycan synthesis
5
Q
Vancomycin
A
- cell wall inhibitor
- NOT b-lactam
6
Q
Protein synthesis inhibitors
A
- Tetracyclines
- Aminoglycosides (-mycin)
7
Q
Tetracyclines
A
- protein synthesis inhibitor
- bacteriostatic
- block binding of tRNA to mRNA
8
Q
Aminoglycosides (-mycin)
A
- protein synthesis inhibitor
- treat gram negative
- causes incorrect reading of mRNA
9
Q
DNA synthesis inhibitors
A
- fluroquinalones
- sulfonamides
10
Q
fluroquinolones
A
- DNA inhibiting antimicrobial
- bactericidal for both gram + and -
- enter through porin
11
Q
sulfonamides
A
- DNA inhibiting antimicrobial
- inhibits production of folate
12
Q
Antifungals
A
-damage ergestaril in cell walls
13
Q
Neuraminidase inhibitors
A
- antiviral
- prevent viral replication
- used for influenza and RSV
14
Q
NRTI
A
- antiviral
- nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
15
Q
NNRTI
A
- antiviral
- non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor
